This chapter explains the basic principles of job management in
an operator-controlled print environment and provides an
overview of the Fiery job management utilities.
Job environments
The Fiery supports several control levels of printing, job
management, and Setup, and gives you the flexibility to choose a
configuration that corresponds to the requirements of your site.
Levels of job control
The following descriptions outline the range of levels of job control
that may exist in your environment:
• At one extreme, an operator in a high-volume printing
environment controls the entire job flow and all printing. Print
jobs arriving from remote users are spooled to the Fiery hard
disk drive and stored until the operator decides it is time to print
them. Additional functions (job overrides, prioritizing, and font
management) are reserved for the operator.
• At the other extreme, anyone on the local network can control
all printing and Fiery functions; operator intervention is not
required. Users can print from their workstations to any of the
published print connections. Anyone can use the job
management utilities to control any print job.
You can implement intermediate levels of job control in your
environment. However, the job management utilities are best
suited for an operator-controlled environment.
